| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We carried out geological study for the AD 1741 tsunami deposit and eruption products of Oshima-Oshima Volcano, Hokkaido. We did not find the tsunami deposit except for the southern coast of Okushiri Island. We discovered four eruption products of Oshima-Oshima volcano and wide spread tephras such as Ko-d from Hokkaido-Komagatake Volcano and B-Tm from Changbaishan Volcano below the eruption products of the AD 1741 eruption at an outcrop on the summit of the volcano. Considering the thickness of soil layers and C14 dating, those eruption episodes might occur at around AD 1450, AD7-AD116, BC180-BC50 and BC255-BC125. We also identified products of phreatic and phreato-magmatic eruptions accompanying sector collapse just below the 1741 scoria layers. It implies that the 1741 tsunami was caused by the eruption of the volcano.
